Opis

This study investigates the relative attractiveness of new towns to different industries in the Midwest and the Sunbelt new communities and attempts to determine just how attractive new community living environments are to persons actually living or working in these environments. This study indicates that when attractiveness is assessed by economic base alone, the Sunbelt new communities are more attractive than the Midwest new communities.
